re: Gears 5 looks to up the horror elements, be more ambitious.

baws, is 5 better than 4? I'm playing through 4 right now and it's god awful. if 5 is better, I'll just read 4's wikipedia to catch up and play 5 instead.

this is exactly like Halo lol, new dev takes over a series and has no clue what made it good originally. everything about 4 just feels second rate. gameplay is not iterative at all, environments are bland and uninspired, enemies suck, script sucks, etc etc. they're trying to create this merry band of happy go lucky soldiers, but not one of them has a tenth of the charm of Cole Train or Baird, and the banter that the previous games excelled at just comes off as cringeworthy with this group

i see why everyone shite on this game when it came out. poor Microsoft, their studios just suck lmao. im praying 5 is better
